- A place for Making, Creating, Collaborating, Learning, and Sharing.
- A Collaborative work space for inventing, learning, exploring and sharing that uses high tech to no tech tools.
- Open to kids, adults, and entrepreneurs and has a variety of Maker equipment including 3D Printers, Virtual Reality, Coding Programs, basic Robotics, CNC Machines, and Soldering Irons.
- A Makerspace however doesn’t need to include all of these machines or even any of them to be considered a Makerspace. If you have cardboard Legos and art supplies you’re in business.
- It’s more of the Maker’s mindset of creating something out of nothing and exploring your own interests that’s at the core of a Makerspace.
Youth learn-by-doing
These spaces are also helping to prepare those individuals who will have to possess the critical 21st century skillset in the scientific, technology, engineering and mathematical fields. STEM (technology, science) and STEAM (arts) will combine in this space where the two very important passions will bring the participants together to create something beautiful and see it come to life. Friendships, passions, and new skillsets are what we hope to achieve through the Makerspace. They provide hands on learning to help build critical thinking skills, and boost self-confidence through honing their abilities. Some of the skills that will be learned in the Makerspace that pertain to electronics include 3D Printing, 3D Modeling, Coding, Robotics, and Visual Arts.
Makerspaces foster entrepreneurship and are being utilized as incubators, and accelerators for business startups and will help to generate new jobs for a better future in our community.
